After arriving at West Ham, new manager Julen Lopetegui is set to overhaul the squad by bringing in new talent and strengthening every position.
The Hammers have already signed winger Max Guilherme, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham, and defender Max Kilman.
They are not stopping there and are now targeting AC Milan’s defensive duo. Lopetegui aims to revamp the defense after West Ham conceded numerous goals last Premier League season. Only the three relegated teams let in more goals, highlighting the need for defensive reinforcements.
Former Chelsea defender Tomori has performed well in Italy and is open to returning to the Premier League to prove himself. His consistent displays for AC Milan have largely gone unnoticed in England, and he is now eager to showcase his abilities.
West Ham began talks to sign Thiaw before entering discussions for potentially signing Tomori. According to reports, AC Milan is open to letting both players leave as they seek to make space for new signings.
The Hammers face competition from Newcastle United for the defenders, with both clubs expected to vie for the signings. West Ham and Newcastle are in similar positions regarding the need to bolster their squads to improve their performance from last season.
